The Kit
The Guest List · Toadwort School of Magic & Mayhem
Every guest becomes a character. Choose your edition by how many join the party — the bigger the night, the deeper the cast.
Want every suspect at your table? Pick the 4–20 edition.
Free with every game — never required
Every kit is complete on its own — and every game now includes a free app. Use it, and it sends cinematic invitations, slips each guest their secret script, and quietly casts the killer.
Cast your guests and the app sends each one a cinematic invitation — their character, their costume brief, and an RSVP that fills your table for you.
Before the party, each guest steps into the green room — their character portrait, their backstory, their costume, and lines only they can see.
One tap, and someone in the room becomes the murderer. Only their phone knows. They read the guilty lines; everyone else plays it straight. Nobody can spoil it — not even the host.
Tap-to-examine evidence lands each round, the Detective's recordings set the scene, and when it's time, a synchronized countdown unmasks the killer on every phone at once.
More ways to play
Snap a photo in costume and it becomes your character's face — on the ballots and at the reveal.
Every guest's photos and videos collect in one shared party album — to relive the morning after.
Run the night as the Detective, or play a character yourself and let the app's recordings narrate.
Vote on the honours — Best Detective, Best Costume, Best Liar — and crown them together at the end.

We had such a fun time with this Harry Potter spin off mystery! Such a fun way to celebrate my 30th birthday! Even though only a handful of the guests were Harry Potter fans, everyone enjoyed playing the game and getting into character. It was also a fun way to have a party where not everyone knew each other beforehand. Would definitely do this again!

Great murder mystery! Enjoyed that the host could also join in and clever how you can play several times as the murderer changes. The names of the characters also made us laugh!

I recently had the pleasure of planning this Murder Mystery Game Experience that was an absolute blast! This one was a hilarious spoof on the classic Harry Potter world, with a funny twist - someone had stolen the Philosopher's Scone. From start to finish, the experience was filled with laughter, fun decor, and a delicious meal that had everyone in high spirits. The atmosphere was magical, with charming, whimsical decorations that transported you straight into a world of mystery and wizardry. Every detail was carefully crafted, from the potion-inspired cocktails to the quirky, themed props scattered around the room. It truly felt like stepping into an enchanted castle. What stood out the most, though, was how fun and interactive the game was. There were twists and turns, keeping everyone on their toes, and the character roles had the perfect mix of humor and intrigue. The best part though... It’s not just a one-time experience! The game is designed so you can play it over and over again, with a new thief each time. This means you can enjoy the laughter and excitement as you try to figure out who the culprit is, again and again. The meal served was also top-notch - delicious and fitting for the occasion. The combination of a great dinner, excellent detective work, and fantastic company made for a memorable evening. Overall, this Murder Mystery Game is a must-try. Whether you’re a fan of Harry Potter or just looking for a unique, fun way to spend time with friends or family, it’s guaranteed to deliver a night of laughs and excitement. Highly recommended!

We really liked all the fuzz around the game: invitations, characters, dressing up, diner in line with theme but the game itself was a bit random. A letter decided who the thieve was..... the questioning, gossip all was a bit much ado about nothing. But maybe we missed the point. Could be! We gad a great evening playing our roles though!

We played the game in german with a group of 6 girls at the age of eleven. It was fun even though the girls didn't read exactly what to do - for that it was a bit caotic- but in the end they managed it and had a very nice evening.

This game was perfect for my murder mystery Harry Potter birthday party! The game is “off-brand” Harry Potter, some people dressed up in the offbrand characters and some dressed up in the OG HP characters. Both were super fun. Harriet Putter had a scar that was a golf ball and a hole/flag. Cedric Bigamy had multiple wives and was looking for more. It was hilarious. The game was easy to use and included everything needed.

The group I played with had so much fun with this game! They loved the theme so much and everyone got so into the characters. We played this on a parents weekend and everyone said it was one of the best parts of the whole weekend.

Our kids were asking for a mystery themed family night. This kit made it so much easier to pull off! Of course we transformed the house to feel more magical and the kids had homemade wands. I slightly modified Crabby Goyle for my 6 year old who is still learning to read and needed a little extra help in order to play along. The included videos really added to the experience.

We love Masters Of Mystery! We’ve used them for two years now and have loved how organized everything is. Everyone gets into the theme and the storytelling is so fun. Will definitely do it again.

The whole night was magical! We transformed the whole house into Toad-wart School (a Harry Potter movie). We even had a whole feast! The game was so much fun and getting into the characters was even more fun!
